Govt bars expats in private schools

A letter dated September 16, 2016 signed by Simon Coles, the deputy permanent secretary in the Ministry of Tertiary Education, Research, Science and Technology, said where expatriates are engaged, the employer must show detailed and sound reasons why locals were excluded.

Coles says that an observation has been made that many university graduates, who are qualified teachers, are unemployed and at the same time private schools continue to recruit foreign teachers in large numbers.
